Creating a fullscreen window doesn't appear to be working correctly. Here's the test program I'm using (error-checking has been removed for brevity):

---

#include "SDL.h"

int main(int, char*[])
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
SDL_Window* window = SDL_CreateWindow(
"", 0, 0, 1280, 1024, SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN | SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);

bool quit = false;
while (!quit) {
    SDL_Event event;
    while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
        if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN || event.type == SDL_QUIT) {
            quit = true;
        }
    }
}

SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();

return 0;

}

---

Everything succeeds and the window is created, but not at fullscreen; the taskbar and menu bar are still visible, and clicking on the window's title bar causes the window to minimize.

This is with Ubuntu 10.10. (It looks like there are some related bugs in the database, but I'm not sure if they're exactly the same.)

Let me know if you need any other info.

Fix to allow fullscreen to work with compiz

This issue is entirely related to Compiz and it's "odd" way of handling fullscreen.. Basically it refuses to allow a window to go fullscreen unless the window is resizeable. This attached patch checks for that scenario and enables/disabled re-sizing when going into/out of fullscreen mode.
